Pillsbury SALT partners Jeff Vesely, Annie Huang, Marc Simonetti and counsel Robert Merten III will present during COST’s 2021 SALT Workshop for the Tech Industry August 11 through 13.
COST’s 2021 workshop will be held virtually and will cover the key state and local tax issues that technology companies are facing. Marc Simonetti will present on the topic, “Digital Services Taxes – Taxation of Social Media” on August 11 at 12:30 – 1:35pm ET. Digital Services Taxes have been introduced in 15 states over the last two years and enacted in one state. The presenters in this session will explore the roots of these targeted gross receipt taxes in European and other national-level DSTs.
Annie Huang will present on the topic, “Best Practices in Sourcing for Both Sales and Income Taxes” on August 12 at 12:20 – 1:25pm ET. The presenters will discuss how states determine where a “customer” receives “benefit,” where intangibles are “used,” and what constitutes “reasonable approximation” for identifying market locations.
Robert Merten III will present on the topic, “Top 10 Cases Dealing with Technology Issues” on August 13 at 12:20 – 1:25pm ET. This session will cover cases and issues that are most relevant to technology companies, and the presenters will offer their perspectives on how those issues will continue to evolve.
Jeff Vesely will participate in the “Ask the Experts” panel on August 13 at 1:35 – 3:00pm ET. Attendees will be able to question practitioners, and the panelists will discuss trends they expect to see in 2021 and beyond.
